Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment
For B-BBEE to work consistently, visible and clearer direction is needed. BEE initiatives to date have been characterised by:
- Lack of understanding leading to inconsistent application and appreciation of B-BBEE principles.
- Lack of clarity resulting in delays in the implementation of B- BBEE initiatives.
- Disparity in Charter definitions and targets between various sectors of the economy.
- Lack of implementation guidelines.
- Lack of underlying economic substance to many BEE transactions.
- Focus on narrow based BEE leading to a narrow base of beneficiaries.

Increased procurement opportunities by entities wishing to enhance their own broad based BEE status through preferential procurement
Government licensing eligibility or licensing renewal process Financing decisions, where empowerment is a key criterion for sourcing the fund, e.g. BEE Funds
Independent, reliable proof of contributions made towards economic empowerment
